The Only Hope for Hiram.
MOntDeIiey RuTnL

The New York Independent is radi-
cal opponent of the probation after
death doctrine which is troubling Con-
gregationalism. In support of its pos
itiOn it quotes from that eminent
orthodox journal and authority, the
Argus and Patriot of Montpelier. This
ought to settle the controversy, but we
are inclined to think that the Argus
has made grave mistake in allying
itself with that side. Our esteemed
contemporary had better tackle on to
the Andover theory and freeze to it,
the triumph of this doctrine would
seem to afford it it's best chance i'm the
next world.

harvested fair crops this season will do
we'll to note that Kansas farmers are
feeling gloomy about the agricultural
outlook in that state. Less than half
the usual corn crop will be secured,
and there will be corresponding de-
crease in the supply of beeves and hogs.
Many of the smaller farmers hardly ex-
pect to make both ends meet till next

In an exhaustive article on Vermont
schools in last Saturdays Boston Jour
nal, C. S. Forbes thus summarizes II
lot of conclusions from a mass of facts
and figures, as to the condition of the
schools of Vermont: That less than
One-half the children of school age in
in the state are constant attendants
at the public schools that the district
schools in the state are poorer and
weaker than ever before; that starva-
ton wages are paid the teachers of the
public schools that in many districts
no regular school is maintained; that
numerous school houses are unfit for
occupancy. This certainly is a bad
showing. Among the remedies sug-
gested are the adoption of the town
system of schools for the state the
more efficient supervision of schools /;
free textbooks, and an effective COM
pulsOry education law.
